by Kerry M. on Finally made it to Delux tonight and was quite pleased with my visit. It was definitely a crowded Saturday night, yet we were able to squeeze in without more than a 2 or 3 minute wait. The hostess was friendly and they cleared the tables quickly. We took the last table on the patio which I was not too thrilled with. Luckily, their patio was much warmer than expected and I wasn't cold once throughout our meal (this is shocking considering I am almost always freezing). My biggest problem with the whole Delux experience was the lack of space around the restaurant. I don't know if the main dining area is different, but the patio was extremely crowded and the tables were truly packed in. I could barely move my legs throughout the meal which made for a slightly uncomfortable evening. Don't worry though because the food totally made up for the squished atmosphere. Between the three of us that were out at dinner, we ordered the Grilled Vegetable Panini, Classic Burger, and Caprese Sandwich (my choice, of course). We also split a basket of fries (half sweet potato and half french). The fries were pretty tasty, but were just slightly undercooked. I have to say that the grocery cart basket of fries was pretty damn cute. I would say that the food presentation was impressive overall. We all really enjoyed our food...my Caprese Sandwich was DELICIOUS. The service was good too ; although our server did not have much of a personality. I definitely want to come back to try Delux again. Their menu had great options and I was totally impressed by all of the available drinks. Late night dinner and drinks will be next! Keep up the good work Delux...I'll be back soon!
by Federico Ultseh on The long-running, solid spot for househeads in LA. Sue's Saturday Balance party is still going despite the sad demise of Justin Gourley and John Do's Basic Fridays. Wear your sneakers, your funky hat and some comfortable pants and prepare to groove to some reliable house music with a friendly crowd and little to none of your general Hollywood-ness. Where real people hang out on the weekends. No glowsticks. No bottle service. No hoochie dresses or dudes in shiny shirts. Not cavernous. Love.
by Gabrielle S. on My old friend Brent, the one who first turned me on to Cafe Diem and the orginal 11th St Vortex, also first told me about a little dance club and bar called MJQ, in the basement of the old Ponce Hotel on Ponce de Leon Ave in Midtown. This was the early '90s, when George Chang, a "very tall Chinese Swede", owned the place, and regularly appeared at some point during the evening to say hello to folks, in his quiet unassuming and very humble way, sort of making sure we were all having a good time. Brent and I went a few times back then, and what I loved most about it, besides the little "chill" area with overstuffed sofas and chairs and a TV that showed martial arts films on perpetual loops, was the music, and the little dark dance floor where anyone and everyone could move however the spirit made him/her. No judgments, no trying to impress anyone, at any time. Just cheap beer, including imports, impressive DJs who knew what we wanted to hear, and a dark and cool ambiance just right for letting loose on the floor. Later, when MJQ opened a little farther down Ponce, in an old garage beneath a parking lot, the "underground" vibe took on a whole new meaning, and it was no longer about looking for the single green lightbulb outside the Ponce's basement door, but looking for the shack above the garage, no sign, just knowing where it was, and that, in and of itself, held its own meaning. When Brent and I went out, we never paid to get in. He would nod to the man by the door and in we went, down the ramp to the bar, which was lit by red lights before they were blue, and the ceiling leaked when it rained, and the place was dark and hip and moody, and after a few $2 Bass Ales the music would amp up and we'd hit the floor. MJQ Concourse (as it was now called) still had the dance floor to beat all, a place where it truly seemed that anyone could dance with anyone, or all alone, all ages, all races, all kinds of people accepted and welcomed, and we were all one big writhing mass of flesh and sweat, the crowd separating when the baby powder hit the cement floor, and the B-boys were on their way to break and amaze us all. At some point the laws changed, and alcohol could no longer be served late, so bars closed early, and this included MJQ, unfortunately. It became a bit of a drag to wait for the right time to arrive, only to have to leave before the lights came up - no more hours and hours of dancing until knees could stand it no more. A second room opened for Brit Pop, a bar with an actual "wall of words" next to it, a place to sit and order shots of Ouzo and read the words, thinking what to add if only one could. Admittedly, I don't go out to MJQ like I used to - I think at some point I grew old and wasn't sure it held for me what it once had, but if you're of a certain age, and you want a good time at a really unpretentious dance club and bar, I really couldn't recommend it highly enough. It helps to know its history, and that Chang is now passed on, and the vibe still remains, a testament to the concept, and the whole underground nature. It's still got a lot of what it once had, just a good place to drink cheaply, to dance, and to be yourself, whatever that may be.
